Leeuwin
Leeuwin was a Dutch galleon that discovered and mapped some of the southwest corner of Australia in March 1622. In this way it became only the seventh European ship to sight the continent. Unfortunately the Leeuwin's logbook has been lost, so very little is known of the voyage. For example it is not known who captained the ship. However, Dutch East India Company letters indicate that the voyage from Texel to Batavia took more than a year, whereas other vessels had made the same voyage in less than four months; this suggests that poor navigation may have been responsible for the discovery. The same is suggested by the 1644 instructions to Abel Tasman, which states that The land discovered by the Leeuwin is recorded in Hessel Gerritsz' 1627 Caert van't Landt van d'Eendracht. This map includes a section of coastline labelled 't Landt van de Leeuwin beseylt A° 1622 in Maert, which is thought to represent the coast between present-day Hamelin Bay and Point D'Entrecasteaux. Portions of this coastline are labelled Duynich landt boven met boomen ende boseage, Laegh ghelijck verdroncken landt and Laegh duynich landt.
